The sickle-cell disease is a hereditary
chronic blood disorder common among people of
black African descent, also found in the East
Mediterranean, parts of the Persian Gulf, and
in North East India. It is characterized by
distortion and fragility of the red blood
cells, which are lost too rapidly from the
circulation.
